From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"I never thought you would need my help one day. I'm really honored!" Riddell glanced at Xiwen in surprise, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"We are looking for a person, but she may have turned into a snake now." Sivan said.

After hearing this, Riddle's expression darkened slightly and asked: "Did Dumbledore tell you that I can talk to snakes?"

"Yes." Sivan nodded and said to Riddle. "Professor Dumbledore suddenly thought of you when he was at a loss, so he asked me to come to you for help."

"But I heard that wizards in the magical world regard talking with snakes as a characteristic of dark wizards." Riddle said softly. "After learning that I have such an ability, will you also be prejudiced against me?

?”

Hearing Riddle's words, Xiven glanced at him in surprise, and then laughed.

The fact that Riddle was able to ask such a question at least proves that he actually does not want Xiwen to be prejudiced against him. It can be seen that Xiwen's half-semester favor-building behavior was not in vain after all.

Now Riddle would occasionally show some of his true character in front of Xiven, revealing some hidden arrogance and indifference to others. It was not like the meticulous elegance he showed in front of others.

"Why are you laughing?" Riddle frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

Xiwen shook his head slightly and asked, "Do you know how Dumbledore described your ability?"

"What did he say?" Riddle asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowing even more tightly.

"Dumbledore said that the problem is never a person's origin or bloodline, but his thoughts and conduct." Sivan smiled and said to Riddle.

"He's really good at talking useless nonsense like this." Riddle curled his lips slightly, but his face looked much better.

"So, what do you think?" Then, Riddle looked at Sivan and asked seemingly casually. "Or are you just going to be a yes-man who agrees with Dumbledore?"

"I never thought that being able to talk to snakes meant that you were a dark wizard." Sivan smiled casually and said to Riddle. "Rather than doubting that you will become a dark wizard because of your innate ability, I would rather choose to believe it."

You became a dark wizard because of this book!"

Xiwen pointed to the book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" at hand and looked at Riddle in front of him with a half-smile.

"You are really good at joking." Riddle's expression was a little unnatural and he abruptly changed the subject. "So, where do you think my ability to talk to snakes comes from?"

Xiwen didn't care about his change of topic and said casually: "Maybe it's because of your bloodline."

"I have been studying blood magic before, and I have learned about the inheritance rules of blood abilities. Most talents like yours are inherited from the blood of your ancestors, and it is also a type of blood magic. So if you want to know

You can find out your origin from Snake Lao Tune."

"Then do you know anyone who can also use She Laoqiang?" After hearing that he might know his origin, Riddle's mood finally lost its previous calmness, and he said in a somewhat excited tone.

"This is not difficult to understand. If you eat chocolate frogs, you might be able to see it in the picture." Xiwen said. "There are two famous snakes in history. One is a dark wizard in ancient Greece.

— despicable Herbo; the other is the founder of Slytherin College — Salazar Slytherin!”

Riddle had no reaction when he heard Herbo's name, but when he heard Salazar Slytherin's name, he was completely moved.

"So it's possible that I have Slytherin blood flowing in my body?" Riddle asked excitedly, his voice rising unconsciously.

"That being said, it's really not impossible!" Xiwen thought for a moment and was immediately extremely surprised.

Because among the two famous examples of using Snake-Lao dialect, Herbo was an ancient Greek wizard, and it is difficult for his bloodline to be spread for such a long time. Therefore, the possibility that Riddle is his descendant can basically be ruled out.

And another well-known figure who can speak Snake accent, Salazar Slytherin, really has descendants in the country! Slytherin's descendants are now listed as 28

The Gaunt family, one of the holy clans.

Xiwen, who is also one of the twenty-eight holy clans and comes from the Rozier family, of course also has a certain understanding of the Gaunt family. According to Sandrine, there is no normal person in the Gaunt family now, so according to their abnormal

Personality, it is not impossible that there are some heirs left behind...

Realizing this possibility, Xiven gave Riddle a strange look and said to him: "Maybe you can check the information about the Gaunt family. This family is the descendant of Slytherin."

"But my last name is Riddle." Riddle asked with some confusion.

"Um, do you think there is a possibility that your mother is from the Gaunt family and your father is a Muggle?" Xiven looked at the confused Riddle and reminded him.

"So you mean that my mother, a wizard, died at the door of the orphanage due to dystocia?" Riddle asked in disbelief.

Because he knew since he was a child that his mother died in childbirth, Riddle always thought that his father was a wizard and that it was this wizard father who abandoned his mother.

Therefore, when Riddle was exploring his own life experience, he had been searching for information around the surname Riddle, but he had never found anything.

Today, Xiwen's words completely made him realize the reality. I am afraid that the truth is really what Xiwen said.

"Riddle, wizards are human beings too, and they will also encounter difficulties." Sivan patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely. "Perhaps your mother encountered some serious difficulties back then?"

"For example, right now, Dumbledore and the others are encountering some difficulties and urgently need your help." Sivan glanced at the pointer of his pocket watch and spoke faster to Riddle. "Let's go, we've wasted a lot of time.

Yes, they may have been waiting impatiently."

Then, Xiwen stretched out his hand to draw a circle, and a golden circle of light lit up around the two of them. There was a vague smell of the forest and the sounds of birds and animals coming from behind the circle.

"Wait a minute!" Just when Sivan was about to step out of the circle of light and head to Albania, Riddle called him from behind.

"Hey, aren't you going to help?" Xiwen looked back at him and asked in surprise.

"No, I just suddenly thought of a question." Riddle hesitated and said softly.

Xiwen looked back at him and asked casually: "Just ask if you have any questions. What are you hesitating about?"

Riddle took a deep breath, then looked at Xiwen deeply and asked: "If one day, I encounter serious difficulties like my mother, will you be willing to help me?"

Hearing Riddle's question, Xiven silently took back his stepped foot and turned around to look at him in surprise.

"Of course." Xiwen said with a smile. "We are friends, right?"

Riddle raised his head, but a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

The evening sun set completely below the horizon, dissipating the last ray of sunlight. In the dark restricted book area, only a golden circle of light emitted light. The shadows of Sivan and Riddle were elongated by the light and reflected in the library.

On the quaint wall.

Amidst the shouts of the administrator to drive away the little wizard who was still staying, the two shadows took steps at the same time and disappeared together into the golden halo.
